(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Antoine Guilloppé. Thirty poets, including Marilyn Singer, Kristine O'Connell George, J. Patrick Lewis, and Joyce Sidman, offer poems taken from text messages, basketball nicknames, bird calls, book titles, and other sources. The collection broadly illustrates what a found poem can be; an introduction explains the form. The blocky drawings work well when they're simple; some figure drawings are awkward.

(3) 4-6 Formatted like a refrigerator note pad, this slim, vertical volume includes thirty-two list poems by Lee Bennett Hopkins, J. Patrick Lewis, Kristine O'Connell George, and others. The poems catalog the familiar: places to read, things observed walking home from school, objects found in a desk or under a bed. These accessible pieces will inspire kids to create their own lists in verse.
